Boston comes out firing on all cylinders from the start to finish, routing Washington  123-101 in Game 5. It was clear from early in the game Washington’s game plan was to focus on Isaiah Thomas and not let him get in rhythm. For the most part they did just that. Thomas finished the game scoring only 18 points on 5... Read More

The hate both teams have for each other was put on display as Washington routs Boston in game three 116-89. Washington had their moments in the first two games of this series that could have turned the whole narrative. Being up 16-0 in Game 1, before ultimately being outscored the rest of the game 99–73 is one thing. Being up by 14... Read More

After trailing 16-0 to start the game, Boston used hot shooting from beyond the arc to defeat Washington 123-111.

The luck of the Irish has struck Boston these past few years. It all started in 2011, when Boston clearly got the better end of the Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Jason Terry trade with Brooklyn. This trade allowed them to get those heavy contracts off the books, along with stockpiling future draft picks. Five years later, Boston is one of... Read More

The NBA’s Eastern Conference goes through Cleveland. Everyone knows that. But what about the teams that will look to dethrone the Cavaliers as Eastern Conference champs?

The reaction on Wizards twitter wasn’t great when the Washington Wizards ended up trading their lone draft pick to the Los Angeles Lakers for cash considerations.
